Two different versions of Harp lager are currently on the market. The first version is the one that has been on the market for years. It is brewed in Dundalk, Ireland, and says so on the bottle. This beer is excellent...full of hoppy goodness and...
Pros: nice aroma, interesting hint of Caramel Cons: too bitter
I really wanted to Love Harp Lager, but I don't. Several people have raved to me about this beer, so when I had the oppurtunity to try a bottle I was ready for a treat.
The cold truth is that Harp is a good beer, but not a great beer. The...
Pros: Better than most of the 'brewed under licence' lagers Cons: Not what you would call distinctive
Despite the impression you get from Epinions the United Kingdom produces a goodly number of beers, in fact a goodly number of good ales. It is therefore rare that I am to be found drinking lager, but if I do I avoid the 'brewed in the UK' Carlsberg,...
Pros: slightly more hops than most lagers; goes down smooth Cons: weak, watery, generic taste; too highly carbonated
I’ve never quite understood the appeal of generic lagers, but obviously there must be something about this type of beer since it’s brewed around the world and most have the same general taste. In the United States we have Budweiser, Miller ...
Pros: A decent crisp and refreshing lager Cons: There are better lagers for the same price
Now, when I first thought about writing this review, I was pretty sure that Harp was not always Irish. I read around a little bit, but could find nothing to back this up. I always thought it was a traditional English lager. I believe, it’s just the fact...
Help-ma-Boab! - There's no other way to put it. When I went to the pub a few weeks ago, all the 'Real Ale' taps were off. Sacre Bleu! No flippin' decent ale to sup. I had a couple of bottles of Becks, but those dinky bottles just wont ...
Pros: lightness, taste, no after taste Cons: not for light weights or those with no food in their stomach
As an avid pilsner drinker, I was skeptical about my friend's argument that Harp was a great tasting beer. I tried Harp a few times in a bottle and wasn't too impressed. Last Saturday night, I broke down and ordered Harp, but this time on draught. I was...
Pros: Potent taste for a lager, no aftertaste, musky Cons: How many days left to March 17th
There's nothing like a half-n-half a.k.a. an all-Irish Black and Tan. A base of Harp Lager topped with a perfectly foamed Guinness--and preferably not ice cold. The two tastes were clearly created to be enjoyed together.
Pros: very thick and robust taste Cons: not a cheap buy
I was recently introduced to harp by my boyfriend. He is always trying different brews and I am always looking for an ale or beer that will give me a not so watered down taste. I found that in harps.
If you have ever tried Merlin's ale and like...
Pros: Smooth, balanced taste; great with food or without; no funny aftertaste Cons: Costs more than domestics and cheaper imports, but it's not too pricey
As I've said before, I'm no beer expert, not by a long shot. But I know what I like and what I don't.
I don't like a beer that's too bitter, or that has a strange aftertaste, and a lot of them do. This one never does.
As a longtime Bass drinker, I was interested to try Harp and compare. I was pleasantly surprised. It is light and not overly sweet, with a well modulated flavor and no aftertaste. Not too hoppy. It shares some of the same slight citrus notes with Bass....
Pros: Nice bubbles, can actually taste the hops Cons: pricey
To be quite honest, I have never understood why Irish beers enjoy the reknowned status that they mysteriously have. I have sampled beers from all over the world, and I would rate most Irish beers closer to the bottom of the list than to the top....
Pros: Less filling than a stout with great full flavor Cons: The best Harp is all the way in Ireland
My first encounter with Harp occurred in the land of shamrocks and leprechauns. I found Guinness to be fairly tasty in the pubs, but after a few I felt completely weighed down. With my stomach sinking like a rock, a cute little Irish bar man...
